Some readers have expressed disappointment/concern that there’s “less Marty” in the latest book, The Wicked Flee.
I’ve put together an elucidation of why I did what I did that might help explain things, including some tricks of the trade that I employed to put some spice in the book.
Check it out and feel free to leave comments or ask questions!
It’s finally here! The Wicked Flee (Marty Singer #5) is live on (almost) every major digital bookseller. Even better news…it’s $.99 for a limited time!
Only Barnes & Noble is dragging its feet, but I expect it to be up soon. Otherwise, it’s ready and waiting for you!
The Description
A late-night knock on his door pulls retired DC homicide detective Marty Singer out of a sound sleep and drops him into a desperate hunt to find Lucy Rhee, the kidnapped sister of his friend, Chuck Rhee. With no clues, no leads, and almost no hope, they’ve only got guts and instinct to discover where The Wicked Flee…and save Lucy before she’s gone forever.
I just got a nice review of Blueblood in AudioFile magazine, the leading glossy on all things audiobook:
Lloyd Sherr narrates this involved story, with its complex, well-developed characters, in a calm, almost nondescript, manner. Iden’s likable, sarcastic retired homicide detective, Marty Singer, is investigating gang activity and a string of cop murders in the Washington, D.C., area.
Sherr easily differentiates the many male characters by varying his volume and pacing. He also believably portrays Singer’s unofficially adopted daughter, Amanda, who helps Marty through his cancer diagnosis and treatment. Masterfully controlling the story, Sherr slows his pace and speaks haltingly when dealing with the emotional issues surrounding the sudden loss of a loved one or the possibility of Marty’s losing the battle with cancer. Sherr’s unique presentation will draw listeners into the twists and turns of Iden’s plot.

Thanks AudioFile!
I’m incredibly excited to announce Amazon’s publication of my short story, “The Kindness of Neighbors” (previously published as “Finding Emma”), through its short fiction imprint StoryFront!
This has always been one of my favorite pieces, but to get validation from the tough editorial staff at Amazon makes it all the sweeter!
And I narrowly missed a second feather in my cap when they told me they wanted the original cover. Unfortunately, they couldn’t reach an agreement with the photographer and had to pass (his loss), but I’m incredibly pleased with the new cover, as well.
Please tell your friends! Just 1$1.99 🙂
I’ve been remiss in not letting you know that the audiobook for A Reason to Live was recently reviewed in AudioFile magazine, the leading outlet for everything audiobook.
